On a civic-military day, the Ministry of Popular Power for Ecosocialism (MINEC), through the Chuquisaca National Reforestation Plan, reforested 1.25 hectares in the El Picacho sector, Mochima National Park, with the planting of 120 forest and fruit trees, as part of the celebration of Arbor Day.

The activity, carried out in the Ayacucho parish of the Sucre municipality, included the joint participation of regional and municipal authorities, environmental organizations and organized Popular Power, according to the MINEC press.

The day was led by Major Jesús Oviedo, Director of UTEC Sucre belonging to the Ministry of Popular Power for Ecosocialism (MINEC), the secretary of the 6th Ecosocialist, Luis Brito; and the mayor of the Sucre municipality, Pedro Figueroa.

The intervened areas were affected by recent forest fires, so this action represents not only a symbolic act commemorating Arbor Day, but a concrete response to restore the ecological balance of Mochima National Park.

Species selected with technical and ecological rigor were planted to strengthen biodiversity and soil recovery: 35 guamas, 25 pomalacas, 10 mereyes, 5 jobos, 15 araguaneyes, 10 cedars, 10 jabillos, 8 apamates and 2 samanes, all essential for the regeneration of the coastal and mountainous ecosystem characteristic of Mochima.

The Vista Mochima Agroarte Tourist Fishing District, an Ecosocialist Brigade of 150 volunteers, including 40 boy and girl brigade members, as well as officials from Inparks and Forest Firefighters, who provided technical and operational support throughout the activity, participated actively.

Mayor Pedro Figueroa called on all citizens to join the goal of planting 10,000 trees in the Sucre municipality.

In addition, Oviedo invited all sectors of society to join the Chuquisaca Plan, “this is a plan that unites us under a single flag: to return to our state its original green color and build an environmental legacy for future generations.”
